Preparation

Add half the water to a pot with the salt, sugar, bay leaves, thyme and cloves. Bring to a boil.
Add the rest of the cold water and a handful of ice cubes to cool it down. When the liquid is cold, place the heart in a container and pour the liquid over it. Keep in the fridge for at least 12 h or overnight. If you want, you can cure the heart up to a week before smoking it.
Set the smoker to 110° C (230° F) and smoke until the internal temperature is 80° C (160° F). The heart can be served hot or cold, cut thin. If you don’t have a smoker, the heart can be slow roasted in the oven.
You can serve it on crackers with aioli and top with mustard and pickled onions as decoration.
